- Abstract
Aims : To evaluate the antibacterial activity of three adhesive systems Xeno V, G Bond and Prime and Bond NT on Streptococcus Mutans An in vitro study Materials and Methods : Adherence and Agar disk diffusion tests were performed. For adherence testing 60 human enamel specimens [6"5mm] were sterilized and adhesive systems were applied [N=15].The control group did not receive the application of any adhesive system. Specimens were immersed in brain heart infusion broth [BHI] inoculated with S Mutans. Standardized suspensions for 48hrs at 37° C and 5%CO2.The number of S Mutans cells adhered to each specimens were evaluated by the plating method on BHI agar. For agar disk diffusion testing adhesive disks and disk soaked in distilled water [negative control] or 0.2% chlorhexidine [positive control] were incubated with S Mutans for 48 hrs. The diameter of zones were measured. Data were submitted to ANOVA and Scheffe's post hoc test at the level of 0.05 level of significance. Results : Adherence test showed that Xeno V, G Bond and Prime and Bond NT didn't show significant difference when compared to the control group. In disk diffusion Prime and Bond NT followed by Xeno V showed good inhibition zone when compared to G Bond. Conclusion : when compared between them total etch adhesive agent Prime and Bond NT showed highest antibacterial efficacy followed by self etch adhesive agent Xeno V and G Bond.
